Because water has different densities at different temperatures.

Explanation:

  • The water has different densities at different temperatures.
  • Underneath the frozen ponds and lakes, only the upper layer of water freezes and is displaced by the below layer of water and then it stops cooling further.
  • This phenomenon also traps the adequate amount of oxygen in the layers which keeps the fishes and other aquatic life remains alive during the winter season.
